FEDERAL BUDGET — CONDENSATE OIL EXCISE EXEMPTION
I refer the Premier to the federal government’s budget announcement that condensate oil produced as a by-product from gas fields will no longer be exempt from oil excise, with a threshold production of 30 million barrels that has been surpassed by the North West Shelf field. (1) Did the federal government discuss this decision with the state government prior to its announcement? (2) Does the government support the changes; and, if so, why; and, if not, why not? (3) What is the government’s view on the possible impact of the tax decision on future gas exploration in Western Australia? Hon KIM CHANCE
